Fun Ideas For Cheaper Birthdays

Birthdays come around once in a year and people in most cultures always look forward to them because they are a year older and expect to get gifts from friends, parents, relatives and sweethearts. To make such occasions memorable for your dear ones will make them happy and they will wish to return the favor to you when your birthday comes around. A birthday party doesn’t have to be extremely expensive. There are many affordable ways that you can use and make your friend’s, brother or sisters special day cheerful.

Throwing birthday parties is the norm for most people who wish to celebrate their day of birth. Offering to cater for everything for the celebrant is a gift by itself. Expenses come in when it comes to buying presents, food, drinks and decorations. If you are thinking of throwing a party, you will need a venue. To avoid rental fees for a venue, consider hosting the party in your backyard or even a friend’s house. Parks and churches that don’t have much restriction are also good options. Cut down the cost of sending invitation cards by using your computer at home to welcome friends to the celebrant’s party.

Birthday cakes are expensive compared to home baked ones. Look out for free recipes from the internet on how to bake a variety of birthday cakes. This is way far cheaper than buying the cakes. You can as well make the decorations at home or print customized ones for free from different websites and display them at the party. Such include banners, gift cards, napkin rings among others. Having a friend take all the funny photos and videos is also cheaper and fun than hiring an expert to do the task. You can later email all the photos to everyone at the party for future fun-filled memories. If it’s a kid party, involve all kids by bringing activities like painting different items. You can download the coloring sheets for free online.

The birthday boy or girl will be pleased by surprises like recreational activities for birthdays which won’t cost anything. These can include activities like a mountain hike, beach fun, a scenic drive in the countryside or a huge picnic with your friends bringing snacks and drinks which is fun. Remember to bring your camera. Activities for the festivity are memorable compared to gifts as the person celebrating will remember the good times more than a physical present. Adult parties can involve kid fun games out on the lawn. This could be a lifetime experience for a birthday especially for a busy person who rarely finds time for leisure.

To spice up the fun in a birthday party, remember to base the theme on the celebrant’s favorite hobby. For instance, if he or she likes rock, you can surprise them by inviting a local band or playing the music in the background. A football lover will enjoy a backyard or park party that features a small match. Customizing the birthday theme with these activities and using the celebrant’s favorite colors in the decorations are very gratifying. Those celebrating will thank you for your effort and the fun you brought in their special day.


Dancing is also a great idea to invite your friends to enjoy your day of birth if you are low on budget. Playing favorite songs for the party girl or boy is rewarding. Watching movies with a friend celebrating the day is also fun. Create a theater experience by dimming the lights. Your coke and popcorn will come in handy in your home movie theater. These birthday ideas can work great for everyone; you won’t have to spend a lot on presents especially if you are in a large family or if you have a tight budget.
